Among the many works composed by Michelangelo Falvetti (1642 - 1692) – polyphonic masses, concertante psalms, motets for soloists or for several voices with basso continuo – only the music of two magnificent Dialoghi, five and six voices respectively, have come down to us in their entirety: Il diluvio universale, dating from 1682 and Il Nabucco, performed, still in Messina, in 1683. These are two masterful scores in which Falvetti shows himself to be an accomplished musician, a profound connoisseur of the Roman and Venetian Baroque musical tradition, but enriched with a sensuality, of an expressiveness all Mediterranean and typically insular: qualities that we have already been able to appreciate in part thanks to the refined interpretation that Leonardo García Alarcón, at the head of Cappella Mediterranea and the Choeur de chambre de Namur, gave of the Diluvio universale (Ambronay Festival 2010 and 2011), and which are sublimated in this no less extraordinary Dialogo del Nabucco.
Dialogo del Nabucco by Vincenzo Giattini is an oratorio inspired by episodes recounted in the second and third chapters of the Book of Daniel, centered on the figures of the ruler Nebuchadnezzar II, the prophet Daniel and the three young people Ananias, Azarias and Misaël who, for not having wanted to adore a pagan idol, were thrown into a fiery furnace from which they emerged intact.
